Final Oscar Predictions...

Final Oscar Predictions:

Last year, I have predicted all of the winners in the major categories (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supp. Actor, Supp. Actress, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay)… Now it is different, this is the most unpredictable Oscar season for the past years especially for Picture and Director Categories.

Most of the national film critics predicted that Million Dollar Baby will be this year’s winner since early reports say that AMPAS voters selected this movie as their choice.
But can Million Dollar Baby win the trophy by solely taking home the Directors Guild of America (DGA) award? No movie ever won the Best Picture without taking at least 3 or 4 major guild awards. The LOTR: Return of the King won 12 guilds just like American Beauty (ACE, ADG, BAFTA, BFCA, CDG, DGA, GG, NYFCC, OFCS, PGA, SAG, VES), Chicago won 8 and A Beautiful Mind won 5. Million Dollar Baby as Best Picture doesn’t make any sense or else this is one of the weirdest Oscar year.

Best Picture: The Aviator, winner of 5 guilds and makes more sense (BAFTA, GG, ACE, PGA, Cinema Audio Society)
